AC 2008-1126: IMPACT OF FEEDBACK AND REVISION ON STUDENT TEAMSOLUTIONS TO MODEL-ELICITING ACTIVITIESMatthew Verleger, Purdue UniversityHeidi Diefes-Dux, Purdue University Page 13.689.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Impact of Feedback and Revision on Student Team Solutions to Model-Eliciting ActivitiesAbstractHelping first-year engineering students to embrace the iterative and open-ended nature ofengineering problem solving is a challenge when their prior learning experiences have focusedheavily on achieving a correct answer in a single attempt. In this paper, the authors will presenta case study of student work from the
instructors andstudents to create visual navigation structures through complex knowledge domains. The authorsfind value in visual navigation structures for their relevance to organizing and simplifyinglearning environments and for their appeal to visual learners. This paper investigates differentways to develop digital interactive concept maps (CMaps) to help students navigate complexknowledge domains, such as the content of a course or a curriculum. CMaps can be used topresent information in a nonsequential way or in several different ways, depending on the need.Interactivity enables students to easily locate digital information artifacts pertinent to a concept(media files, slide presentations, web pages, etc.) by clicking on links associated with a
,and can better present the uniqueness of their study programs.Lafayette College has engaged in an undergraduate engineering study abroad program which isnow entering its fifth year. The program was established with a firm set of institutionalrequirements guiding its development, including:(i) A semester-long experience.(ii) Immersion in an international, non-anglophile culture.(iii) A partner institution providing English language instruction for coursework.(iv) Participation allowing completion of all engineering degree requirements in four years.(v) Congruent structures, such as the semester schedule (academic calendar).(vi) Congruent academic programs in terms of quality assurance.This paper describes the developing

learning strategy allows the focus of faculty-student interactions in class to be on theapplication and higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy that are usually targeted in engineering andsimilar technical courses.While these pre-recorded lecture videos are an essential component of an inverted coursestructure, little data has been made available on how students actually watch these recordedvideos. This paper presents the results of a study of student viewing behaviors for pre-recordedvideo content in an inverted introductory sophomore mechanics course. Data is presented forboth theory-based lectures intended to be viewed prior to class, and for recorded exampleproblem solution videos that review problems solved during class meetings.Data from the video

Thepresence and involvement of advisory bodies focused on the departmental rather than the collegeor university level is perceived as a distinct program advantage and has been recognized byABET program evaluators. Still, the relative benefits of direct industry support and advisementhave not previously been measured.This paper will describe the various forms of informal and formal CE program support andpresent a survey methodology for evaluating whether these arrangements have a quantifiableeffect on program success. A database of advisory boards from surveyed programs is presentedand analyzed. The objectives of this work are to correlate the relative performance of
